Federal health officials on Thursday, May 26, 2016, approved the innovative new option for Americans struggling with addiction to heroin and painkillers: a drug-oozing implant that curbs craving and withdrawal symptoms for six months at a time. The implant is essentially a new, long-term delivery system for an established drug, buprenorphine, which has long been used to treat opioid addiction. (Braeburn Pharmaceuticals via AP)
